››› FUTURE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALThe property offers strong alternative use potential to residential or commercial use due to the wealth of amenities nearby and its location in the Town Centre, subject to the necessary consents and current leases. There has been planning permission recently given to the nearby Rumours Night Club for part conversion part development to create 16 apartments.
Whilst Reunion House directly to the west of the subject property is in development to provide 3 two bed houses. Due to the Town Centre location and nearby tourist attractions we believe the site could also be developed for hotel use, subject to the necessary consents.
Please note as per the tenancy paragraph there is a long lease to First Essex Buses of part of the property, which also benefits from some rights of way, therefore any development will have to take this lease into account. The lease is available in the Allsop dataroom.
